To use the word "they" in this context is not accurate. The groups are too disparate to be classified together. They pursue different aims and therefore strike at different perceived enemies.

There are generalizations, and then there are generalizations. The trouble with Russia and Chechnya is, I'm not entirely sure if it's possible to reduce Chechnya to a finer grade of rubble. Well, there's always nukes, I guess. Short of that, retaliatory measures are problematic.

Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "First they pissed of the US. Then they pissed off the Aussies. Now they are pissing off the Russians. They just don't have an f-ing clue."

I don't see these things as being related, but as long as you do, would you now be willing to make a prediction that Russia will support a US invasion of Iraq? How about that Russia will allow a UN Security Council resolution allowing US to use force in Iraq?
